Brain injuries and drug use

[Kartikay]

Your grandmother is wrong, Czepa. That's a terrible thing for her to say to you.

What seems to be getting lost is that your individual experience is one point in that data set. That's exactly why science is useful, because it speaks to those phenomena that occur through time with consistency.
...
As to you not caring what science says, then why were so many of your retorts about studies? If you don't care, fine, don't care, but don't say you don't care when presented with studies contrary to your viewpoint, then turn around, point to some scientific studies and say "I told you so!"

Can you feel the love I'm sending you? Because its on its way, kindred spirit, its on its way.

Thank you so much Kartikay...I'm feelin' the love. It's very comforting to realize that someone else is seeing these holes as well...

and Czepa, if there's not hope what is there? The cessation of hope marks the beginning of the end of the will to survive, for without hope there is no reason to persist in this existence. Stay strong Brother.

I feel that something bad is to come. not for me but for all of the people i have known, i search for dmt after realizing im addicted to the feeling of JWH18 to escape my life. but cannot realize it as being something thats bad for me and that i was addicted to, i would smoke 5 cones a day or more. i wanted to find dmt to help my sickness but cannot attain it due to current social problems. but really the only limiting factor is time and space.

my grandmother is dead. she talked to me in a salvia trip when i went to the other side. i was taking salvia for a "high" like i used to for JWH and was recording the experience if you know what i mean. she wouldn't tell me this one thing... she couldn't trust me not to tell people about it but maybe that i wouldn't take it seriously enough. ive seen how reality is not really real though lately with time and place being perfect for everything and finding situations that are under my control. like life is a constant trip without actually being high off any drugs. last salvia trip i was saying aloud 3 months it will take, 3 months. until i see them again i really need to work on my life here but its so bs i cant do anything for myself i just have no motivation at home. but i work everyday in 45 degree heat without being lazy

Find someone that you can talk to face to face, whether it's a friend, a family member or a psychologist. Unless you're willing to open up completely to a friend or family member who has actually experienced a psychedelic, then I suggest a psychologist. They're awesome. And DMT is not the solution for all your issues. If substance abuse is still an issue, try Iboga or a rehabilitation clinic or better yet, both.

You said life is a trip, and it is! But if you're interpreting that as a bad thing, or a depressing thing, or negative in any way, then you're looking at it completely wrong.

Don't use psychedelics if you aren't at least content with where you are in life. You need to get yourself stabilized before you can appreciate the benefits of any entheogen. Only Iboga/Ibogaine has evidence of solid and widespread benefits for some of the issues you've mentioned. Freebase DMT is not where you should be looking.

Did these problems arise before or after you suffered brain injuries?

Everything indicates that your brain is still not fully recovered, that you are still 'messed-up'.

That must be a terrible thing to suffer from. I can imagine that this would make you feel depressed. And also isolated.

Kartikay's advice is right. Find someone to talk to. A psychologist would be a good idea, also because they probably know more about how your brain injurie relates to your problems. They will understand your problems and may know some ways to deal better with it. Maybe there are also medications that can help you.

It sounds like you've been 'self-medicating', wich may only make things worse.

I hope things will get better for you.
